About Rogan Art
In the realm of art history, the "drying oil technique" has long been colonized by narratives favoring medieval Europe. However, a rigorous examination of history reveals that this sophisticated medium originated in 5th-century Bihar, India. Supported by UNESCO findings at the Bamiyan cave sites in Afghanistan, it is clear that Buddhist disciples were utilizing this exact method centuries before it reached the West. The practice requires a masterful command of chemistry and kinetic precision—boiling castor oil to achieve a specific viscosity and then applying it via a stylus held in mid-air above the textile surface.
The Sanskrit etymology of the word, rangan ("to dye"), reminds us of the craft's profound Indian roots. In the contemporary landscape, this heritage is not merely being preserved but is being advanced by Ashish and Komal Kansara. Ashish Kansara has become a pivotal figure, distinguishing himself as the world’s sole expert in the tri-partite styles of Rogan, Nirmika, and Varnika. By securing his status as an authorized user of the GI Tag for Kutch Rogan Craft (AU/35946/GI/718/1), he has formalized the preservation of this 1,550-year-old technique, ensuring it continues to serve as an authentic pillar of Indian cultural identity.
